A multigrid method for the computation of eigenmodes of closed water basins

Abstract

In the present paper we discuss the computation of eigenmodes of closed water basins with focus on Lake Constance. As model we use the shallow-water equations for a one-layered closed basin with variable bottom shape. We discretize the equations with linear finite elements on a specially constructed grid. As solver we use the standard multigrid method for eigenvalue problems coupled with a robust ILU smoother, which is supported by a particular numbering strategy. The resulting method, the convergence of which is analyzed thoroughly, is very efficient, allowing the solution of the Lake Constance problem on an Apple Macintosh in reasonable time. The results are compared with several existing ones.

TrendTerms

TrendTerms displays relevant terms of the abstract of this publication and related documents on a map. The terms and their relations were extracted from ZORA using word statistics. Their timelines are taken from ZORA as well. The bubble size of a term is proportional to the number of documents where the term occurs. Red, orange, yellow and green colors are used for terms that occur in the current document; red indicates high interlinkedness of a term with other terms, orange, yellow and green decreasing interlinkedness. Blue is used for terms that have a relation with the terms in this document, but occur in other documents.
You can navigate and zoom the map. Mouse-hovering a term displays its timeline, clicking it yields the associated documents.
